I'm also a fan of:

WHAM last Christmas, by a mile. RIP George

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Which begs the perennial CM question - you write a decent song that's got a half chance of being a hit, then why not throw a nod to Christmas in there and you're set up for life with royalties?

Jona Lewie, a song with sod all to do with the festive season....chuck in 'Wish I was at home......" and a few bells and BINGO. Kids education and a pool.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Lovely voice..really mellow alto.

Exactly. Noel Gallagher could have afforded to have retired his middle of the road arse by now if 'Wonderwall' had only included the line:

'Today is gonna be the day
That we go Christmas shopping'

If you like 'done to death, could happily never hear that track again as long as I live music' then it's thread closed.

For the rest of us and Uncle Spielberg there's East 17

That would be my choice but could never work out why it is classed as a Christmas hit other than it was released then.

 

[Flex Your Head]

Stay Another Day is a cracking track, but has got bugger all to do with Christmas.

I like that, not surprising as I have most of Low’s music but, oddly, have never heard that before

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Pretty much anything seasonal sung by Kate Rusby. Like this

Beautiful lo-fi bedroom recording original:



Ballsy Euro-synth cover version:



This is today's favourite anyway.

Indeed, 8 nice tracks on there. Silent Night too!

Apart from one extremely dodgy single involving Elton John, I always liked the annual Killers Christmas tracks. Joel the Lump of Coal was quite clever.

It’s got bells in it and snow in the video, that’ll do for me. It’s a BELTING a winter tune.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

One of only 2 Christmas songs that are not shite....

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

And here's the other....

One of only 2 Christmas songs that are not shite....
